Westbrook and Braun should have the same mentality or style of playing basketball but Russ thinks he's a scorer but he's not. He's like JR Smith or Monta Ellis with the Warriors. Hogging the ball and taking too many unnecessary shots.
first round exit😢
Coach Michael Malone be serious players like Austin Reives, Stephen Curry, SGS and James Harden will eat Jalen Picker for dinner during the playoffs
Coach Michael Malone be serious players like Austin Reaves, Stephen Curry, SGS and James Harden will eat Jalen Picker for dinner during the playoffs if Malone tries to play him !
Westbrook should not play more then 7-8 minutes in playoffs.
Let me tell you something, they were NOT supposed to lose this game. This was a big loss !!!
Watson and Braun should played. No excuse for this, as this loss might be extremely costly.
Malone, keep speaking gibberish, keep wasting Joker's best years with all these losses. Nuggets chances of reaching finals depends on being 2nd or 3rd seed. With all these losses, you are missing the point and the goal, bro. Don't think if you meet lakers, it will be like last seasons. Lakers will beat your ass even with Joker having 100 points like Wilt. No bench, no good cast around Joker and you think it is best to rest the starters with 5 games left to get the best spots in playoff?
Ah yes Malone keep being happy with effort while you keep losing games. Jesus jokic has carried this sorry coach for too long
I’ll just say, (yo we love you Mcdaniels), Anyone who watched the game could see players were tired. Even at the end of the game, two of the most important players, one from each team, made devastating mistakes or misses:
1. Edwards totally gave the ball away on our most important possession near the very end of the game. It was this absolute gift to Denver from antman that even gave Russ a chance to have the ball at the end where he missed a layup.
2. Denver lost by one point. Their best player didn’t sit one minute during the second half of regulation, and the entirety of both overtimes. Jokic missed one of two free throws just before all this happened. Literally.
It wasn’t just Russ who made mistakes near the end. The coach for Denver did as well, so did Anthony Edwards, and so did the joker.
Quit hating on Russ like he’s the only reason the wolves won. the wolves have won five or six in a row against Denver, and shut them down in the playoffs too. It’s not just about Russ. It’s a series of red flags that are adding up between them all. Still though, they are a playoff caliber team. As is Minnesota.
We notice not one person on national tv yelled at Anthony for throwing the ball away in the clutch. No one gave Jokic a hard time for missing the free throw that he needed to make. He even demanded to stay in the game when coach asked to sub him out.
Both coaches need to use their bench more during overtimes. Especially doubles. It’s hard on players. They already travel, and play a demanding sport and play back to backs too.
Everyone played well. It was a hell of a game. Mistakes are always made. Especially the refs. Like I showed. By all.
But it doesn’t mean they need to be grilled like this. At least, the players. Grill the refs. The players tried to win. The refs tried to rig. Big difference.
The players produced one of the best games ever. The refs and the media afterwards almost ruined it, not Russ.
I'm proud of Malone! He's finally playkng the bench. They need playing time. No, they didn't win. But they had a chance. They improved tremendously and we will need that experience in the future. They competed. They still made some mistakes. Learning is a process. You have ho trust the process. Little by little we learn who we can depend on and who needs to go home.
People forget that Naz Reid and Divencenzo didnt play or it wouldn't have gone to overtime
Russ will fold.
You guys are not getting past the first round. If you don't get Jokić any help in the offseason this will be the greatest waste of a talent in sports history
Mike Malone, the number one supporter of mediocrity.
Good to see picket Westbrook and jokic, triple double kings
Malone is proud of everybody but there are only 5 games left and it's crucial to be 3rd. But like that they may end up in play in and he will still be proud.
Anyone proud of Russ ? 30 pts after yesterday great grit
Sadly a first-round exit regardless who they play
Nuggets , chicken nuggets, lakers in 🤚
Proud in what way? As in gay pride?
Thos man is for retirement and he can take russ with him, idiots.
This guy all year is talking how Dennver is great in adjustment to all difficulties (defeats), but those continued and continuing all the time. Joker needs to leave this team, bring the coach who will tell them in their faces that season is over because of lack of efforts and overpaid players. After one championship what they focus on is making podcasts mostly. Dennver out in the first round. Hope Joker goes somewhere else next season. 😊
Spurs (with Wemby) were #12 in WC… Now, without Wemby, De'Aaron Fox, Sochan etc. this is some kind of "win", and something to be proud of?!?!? Well, for Nuggets GMO and coaching stuff – it is! It's a borderline lunacy already… 20K tickets sold for – what again???
Malone learned his lesson from last year when he pushed
his players at the end for the best rank and they ended up
exhausted in the playoffs.
This year he understood that being healthy and well rested
is more important than home advantage.
Okc can rest their entire 8-man rotation and still beat the spurs. This is the difference. Nuggets Management has failed
They gone have to ride joker until his wheels break off he should be resting and they should win games like this but there team stinks but joker is amazing. Putting up 60 in a loss is a tough spill to swallow
O god champ, pls dont be proud. Its embarrassing
Wow playing the Jaycee what a joke! Who wants to watch or support this crap, same old story with Russ turnover machine.
Rest all the starters until playoff time. Malone is going to have to shorten the bench significantly and kick Russ to the curb, they’re gonna need to be fresh to make a legit playoff run.
from what I can see , Playoff will be disaster for Denver , unfortunately 😞
Between Booth’s awful roster construction, Russ being a TO machine and can’t help but think MM’s messaging getting old, I don’t expect much in playoffs. Sad to see Joker’s prime years being wasted. At least he got 1 title.
RUSS AGAIN MISS SHOT AND TURNOVER…BLA..BLA…
You are proud…???.WTF
Malone looks like a coach who has capitulated to not expecting greatness from his team anymore. He should be ticked off the way everybody but Jokic is playing, and the way they are losing games lately. I think he's just exhausted, and frustrated, and for his own sanity has capitulated to accept mediocrity. Might be time for the Nuggets to either trade Jokic to a better team for Jokic's sake, or have a try with a new head coach that demands more from the rest of the team.
Malone is a great coach and I am from Minnesota. He cares for his players and his players care for him. That is priceless. I applaud 👏
As a season ticket holder I’m pissed that we played our last place last string player. The Nuggets need to refund our ticket price.
Malone should be fired
Wolves BROKE yall, 0 starters VS spurs!!!!!! Jokic should demand a trade. 😂😅
4:04 not the meme😂
Jokic must move of this shit Team…… Go to L.A….
When Russ stole the ball during the Lakers game, everyone was proud of him, but the moment he missed the open layup (vs wolves), he got all the blame. That should have been one win and one loss on him, but unfortunately, the loss hurt even more because it went to double overtime—especially with Jokic making history. As a result, the team had to rest starters in the next game. I had moved on from that missed layup, but when I saw him miss another open layup, it hit differently. He looked tired, but he could have used his left hand. That’s when I thought, "We had already let the last one go, but you did it again."
Come on, Russ! You’ve got this—bring back your best form! Focus on defense and creating plays for your teammates with solid assists. Attack the rim instead of settling for threes, draw early fouls, and put the defense in penalty so Jokic can dominate in the paint.
2 years ago Mike Malone was saying the Nuggets were going to start a dynasty. Now he is saying how proud he is of his guys after they blew 2 games they should have won – smh
Malone is done 😢..: no good job should be leaving or get fired
Malone should be fired all together with GM Calvin Booth.
IS THIS A TEAM TROPHY OR INDIVIDUAL AWARD ?MVP? JOKER THE MVP
The 9-0 run really hurt 😭😭😭
